I can second that Avahi is awesome. Yes, you need libdaemon. It's just the author's convenience library for running daemons so that they can chroot, drop privileges, reload configuration on SIGHUP, etc. It's a straight ./configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install. I would also suggest looking at his nss-mdns module to allow resolving hostnames on multicast networks. It's very convenient if you have multiple machines doing multicasting on the same network. $ getent hosts silky.local 192.168.1.2 silky.local -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
